An active search engine provided on a server includes (a) a database; (b) a search engine which receives a search criterion and searches the database based on the search criteria to retrieve search results responsive to the search criterion; and (c) an interface program running on the server which (a) receives a connection request from an application program running on an external computer and establishes the connection with the application program accordingly; (b) receives from the application program the search criterion; (c) repeatedly (i) provides the search criterion to the reverse search engine and receives from the reverse search engine the responsive search results; and (ii) formats and provides the responsive search results to the application program; and (e) maintains the connection with the application program. An associated method for the active search engine is also disclosed.
